Before you send out your ‘Save the Date’ you should consider
what your wedding colors are going to be so you can hint at them in the Save
the Date notice. Wedding colors are very personal, they set the pace for the
occasion.

There are 5 steps to choosing wedding colors that you can
take that

will ensure that your wedding day represents you and your partner
best.

Consider the Season

Each season of the year has a color palette that is
associated with it. Consider the season that you will be having your wedding in
and consider the palettes that are most often associated with that season. For
example:

Winter-Winter whites, blues, purples and other dark colors
are often associated with winter.

Spring- Spring has the largest palettes. You can choose from
all the pastels for spring that range from greens to pale pinks to yellows.

Summer-Offers colors of the ocean, the sand, bright pinks,
strawberry reds and other vibrant colors.

Fall- Autumn colors are all about burnt oranges and browns,
earth tones also are a good representation.

Consider the Trends

Each year new color trends emerge for weddings. Consider the
color trends for weddings and see if there are potential combos that you and
your partner just love.

Consider What You Love

It is your wedding, choose what you love. There is no hard
line color combo musts that you have to stick too. So what if your color combo
for your wedding is a little different! Its your day and it should be an
expression of you.

Consider What Looks Good

Surrounding yourself with the right colors on your wedding
day can actually enhance how you look. We all have colors that just highlight
our look. Choosing the right colors that help you to look your best is a great
way to choose your wedding colors.

Don’t forget to include the color palettes that make your
partner look good as well before you make your choice.

Make Sure You Love It

Before you start ordering anything be sure that you love
your wedding colors because if you don’t you just will not love your wedding.
You will spend the day mulling over the colors.

Another tip to follow is to run it past your wedding party
members to see how they feel about your color choices. Sometimes Arroyo Yellow
and Gable Green sound appealing on the fly but some sage advice can take us
back down to planet earth and help us to realize that sometimes less is more in
the color department.

Planning the perfect formal party takes a lot of preparation
and hard work, but it can be fun too. If you find yourself overwhelmed and unsure of where to start, then read on for a simple guide to planning a formal
party that your guests will rave about.

Set a Date

One of the most important things you should do is decide on
a date that works best for everyone. Make a list of possible days when you can
host the party, then ask your guests about their schedules so you can decide on
the best date and time. Once you have a guest list and a set date, it’s time to
send the invitations.

Formal Invitations

Many people send invitations digitally these days, but for a
formal party it’s better to go the more traditional route with elegant
stationery invites by mail. Your guests will appreciate the gesture, and you
might even have some fun in the process. If you require formal dress (which is
suggested for a formal event), then include a dress code in your invite.

Plan Your Menu

Great food is essential for any formal party. Every host
wants to impress their guests with a fantastic meal. First, consider your
guest’s preferences. Things like food allergies, religious beliefs, and general
likes and dislikes should be accounted for. If you’re planning a dinner party,
include a main course, an appetizer, and a dessert. That’s a lot to think about
when catering to the likes and needs of your guests, so make sure you allow
plenty of time for planning. Once you decide on your menu, it’s time to shop.
Set a budget, find the best deals, and shop a couple days before the event.

Atmosphere is
Everything

A formal party needs a formal atmosphere. Music, appropriate
decor, and entertainment are all important for the perfect party environment.
Select music that enhances the mood you’re going for. Consider a theme for you party, to give your
event a personal and fun touch, then plan your decor accordingly. For a dinner
party, consider your place settings and create a lovely centerpiece for your
tables.

Entertainment is a
Must

Entertainment can make the difference between a successful
party, and a total failure. The last thing you want are bored guests. Consider
the interests of your guests, and plan an activity schedule that flows well
with your theme. Your party should have structure with a beginning, middle, and
end, each prompted with a fun activity or entertainment.
